Yemen's Houthi movement, Ansar Allah, denied closing the Bab al-Mandab Strait, clarifying that restrictions apply only to Saudi vessels in response to Saudi Arabia's blockade of Yemen. This follows recent Houthi missile and drone strikes on Saudi oil tankers.

Houthi threats to Saudi oil shipments via Bab al-Mandab have pushed Brent crude above $100 a barrel and raised fears of a further spike. The disruption is also tightening global diesel, petrol and gas markets.

The Houthi militia in Yemen appears to be selectively allowing some ships, including a Chinese oil tanker, through the Bab al-Mandab strait despite a declared blockade on shipping to Saudi Arabia, following a recent confrontation and an attack on a Saudi tanker.
Iran is reportedly considering using its allies in Yemen, the Houthi movement, to target the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a crucial maritime chokepoint connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. This potential escalation could disrupt global shipping lanes and oil supplies, impacting international trade and energy markets.
